I managed to get a bit more painting in today.
The unlagged portions of the boiler were painted with a mix of silver, grimy black, rust, and roof brown. This new mixture is used to simulate the oil and graphite mix painted over the unlagged boiler sections, in the real world, paint would just burn off these parts from the heat. The fireman's shelter was painted roof brown as with all Anna lines steamers.
Normally I just leave the inside of the cab black, but with the open cab door I felt it necessary to paint the cab interior. I mixed up a medium green color that looked right for the job. In these shots it's still wet, when dry it will need a second coat. The center cabs roof also got a coat of roof brown to match the shelter.
